DataArt published a new case study about using Machine Learning for asset management. The solution delivered significantly automated the image filtering process, making it possible to scale the business model as required. The Machine Learning approach facilitated a number of business benefits:
  • Reducing the human resources involved and automating the process;
  • Constantly improving image recognition models using the regression learning pipeline;
  • Ensuring that image recognition algorithms work on resource-limited devices, making it possible to use the solution in real time without cloud computation power;
  • Using cloud technologies to scale the solution.
The full case study is available here.

Supporting legacy technologies and hardware is always expensive and time consuming. Using modern architectures and popular languages like Python disrupts the whole industry allowing it to drastically shorten the time to market and decrease proof-of-concept efforts. As the result, it reduces the learning curve of CNC in general. Moreover, using modern tools opens a wide range of integration options with other cutting edge technologies, solutions, and infrastructures making the whole market more customer centric. DataArt's IoT team published a new case study about the first ever CNC machine controller implementation in pure Python. The project is open source software. The source code is available here: https://github.com/Nikolay-Kha/PyCNC

RPi3 vs DragonBoard from the Python Perspective

RPi3 vs DragonBoard from the Python Perspective

Python is a perfect language for creating simple PoC projects. We will not talk about the full list of Python’s advantages, but the most amazing one is that Python is cross platform. This feature is quite useful for building embedded system applications. No need to wait until a compiler builds binaries, no need to deploy applications to the board. And the same code runs on a PC desktop as well as on Linux-based boards like Raspberry Pi. However, this approach has its limits. It cannot be used for some hardware-related projects, e.g. a PC desktop doesn’t have an SPI. And obviously ARM-based boards are slower than a PC. So in some cases an algorithm perfectly running on a desktop experiences a lack of performance on an embedded system. Performance was critical in one of our latest projects (watch Amazon Alexa Virtual Device demo here). We used a Dragonboard 410c as one of target platforms. We were pleasantly surprised with the board’s performance. Even without instrumental benchmarking we felt a significant boost in OS packages installations, application launch, and overall performance compared to Raspberry Pi 3. Let's have a look at board specs:

At DataArt our broad healthcare and life sciences experience coupled with our deep technology expertise allow us to clearly see the gaps in the healthcare technology field. For instance, there are many electronic patient recorded outcome systems (ePRO), and patient diaries used for chronic care management and clinical trials, but none of them has a patient interface engaging enough for adult patients, let alone children. By combining our vast expertise in user experience design, mHealth, and gamification, we have created a concept product that covers the current gap in pediatric mHealth solutions. Unlike existing products, DataArt’s concept application KidPRO uses these aspects to motivate young patients and turns managing their own healthcare or participating in a clinical trial into a fun and rewarding process.

The DataArt Orange initiative spent lots of development efforts for its food recognition R&D project. And finally it feels that the market is ready for the technology. Last week Google announced at the Rework Deep Learning Summit an artificial intelligence project to calculate the calories in pictures of food you have taken. According to The Guardian, “the prospective tool called Im2Calories, aims to identify food snapped and work out the calorie content”. There is not much information about the project and what algorithms are available at the moment, but what is available indicates that Im2Calories will utilize a similar approach used by DataArt’s Computer Vision Competence Centre researchers in their Eat’n’Click project.

Comments: 0

Eat’n’Click is an application developed by DataArt that helps people track the nutritional content of foods they consume. The app automatically tracks calorie information by scanning photographs of food.

Its prototype is available on the App Store and can recognize a number of fruits with more than an 85% success rate. Recently the application was demonstrated by the DataArt team during the Health 2.0 Europe 2014 event in London and was highly appreciated by its participants.

Following industry trends and the high attention Apple HealthKit is receiving, DataArt’s Research Lab decided to move forward by automating the tracking of users’ nutrition habits. DataArt is planning to build a PoC prototype to integrate with Apple HealthKit. Also, we plan to implement a voice recognition engine with it. The aim of DataArt’s Orange R&D initiative is to reduce the gap between humanity and computers. And we strongly believe that this step will be highly effective.
